VINTAGE SHOTS FROM DAYS GONE BY! (Part 2)

Eddie Miller’s dad helped Stu Hilborn hit 150 in his narrow hand-built ‘liner, but he kept dragging his feet “perfecting” this one, powered by an unusual Pontiac flathead six, for his son. Seen here in beautifully, finally finished form, it was literally a backyard-built engineering masterpiece. Thankfully it has been saved and recently restored.
